28 vinyl pressings of Anima Latina are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1974 and 2025.
The earliest pressings are from 1974, in Italy, Germany. One of them is Numero Uno DZSLN 55675.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use DZSLN 55675, 6.22155 AS) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, DKAY 28048 2S - 1A 6 E 11 ∆ P and DKAY 28049 2S - 1A 3 E 9 ∆ P. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
